UEFA EURO CUP 2016 REVIEW

The 15th UEFA Euro Cup is almost to its finish now. As we reach the Semi Finals of the tournament, it's the perfect time to analyze how this tournament progressed and what all we could see in this thrilling tournament of sheer football.

The Groups For UEFA Euro 2016

The Cup began on 10 June with France as the host nation. At the beginning, the matches looked a bit slow and low scoring. It is not the goals but the attempts that make fans feel excited and when they see their team loosing, it acts like a chill in the spine to the fans.

When we talk about the pre tournament favourites, Spain was the country that everyone thought would continue their winning streak of the cups, after previously winning in 2008 and 2012 editions. 

The Tournament Underdogs

According to me, being a underdog is one of the most important roles a team can play. "To be an underdog, you have to  upset many" When it comes to deciding a team that fits perfect in this spot is, Wales undoubtedly. They have reached the Semi Finals of the cup, beating Belgium in the Quarter Finals. Gareth Bale, the star player of the team and one of the best footballers in the world is another reason of such long journey apart from various tactics the team followed. Wales came in the first major finals after the 1958 World Cup and this is all because of the hardwork they put into the game. Besides Gareth Bale, Ramsey and Robson Kanu have also done justice to their role. I don't think there is something stopping the in-form team reaching the Finals. 

Biggest Upsets

There has been less of upsets in the tournament but the few of those upsets are enough to call this cup thrilling and successful. As we say in cricket, Anything can happen anytime. Same goes for Football too as we see few of the upsets in the tournament.

The biggest shocking moment we saw was Iceland beating England, this was a match you won't believe that such things too can happen. Iceland, new to the UEFA Euros beat the all time professionals and well established team England 2-1. The Match was nothing less than a nightmare to the English Team fans, that left them stunned all after the game.

Another upset was Wales beating Belgium 3-1 in the Quarter Finals. This may be due to Belgium's key players missing the match but you don't see such teams doing such type of atrocious  stuff. 

The third and the last shocking moment in my list is, Republic of Ireland beating Italy 1-0. Umm, wait.... what? Yes, I don't doubt the reaction, On 22 June this happened when Italy lost to NIR. Bad Things happen, this is all part and parcel of the game.

Probable Winner Of The UEFA EURO 2016

SF 1: WALES V/S PORTUGAL

SF 2: FRANCE V/S GERMANY

I think that the inform Wales can give a tough challenge to Portugal- who haven't played the best of their games recently. They entered the Semi Finals after beating Poland in Semi Finals. If Wales can do it, it will be another Historical Moment. Wales entering the finals will be no less than a dream to all the fans of the team.

I think France is the leading runner to grab the winner's position. It is tough to call between Germany and France, this is actually very frustrating that matches between such world class teams are not in the finals. We will see France v/s Germany in Semi finals to battle it out for the finals. I think France has been marvellous throughout the tournament. Griezzmann, Payet and Giroud have played well through out the tournament with France having a solid defense.

Whereas Germany also has big names like Manuel Neuer, Kroos, Mario Gotze, Mesut Ozil, Mueller and Gomez. The list is long, I don't doubt Germany either.

I would like to see a final between France v/s Wales just because they have been the best out of most of the teams.

Overall, the cup has been a succesful one and we demand another high quality matches to make this tournament, a tournament to remember.

So, let's grab our seats and enjoy thrilling and exciting Semi Finals And Finals. 

Movie Review : Baaghi & The Jungle Book!

FOR SPORTS UPDATE

REVIEW : BAAGHI

Director: Sabbir Khan

CAST : Shraddha Kapoor, Tiger Shroff, Sudheer Babu, Paras Arora , Sunil Grover.

 Baaghi is a movie by Sabbir Khan  which brings out the chemistry between Shraddha and Tiger Shroff decently. Action packed, this movie is for those who love decent action .

Tiger Shroff's acting has been average since his first movie Heropanti, but the work he does on his stunts in the movie is worth applause. Even Shraddha is seen in an action avatar.  The story is directed at a steady pace. The actions are commendable however the acting overall has been average. Raghav Shetty(Sudheer), a criminal falls in love with  Sia (Shraddha Kapoor) who loves Ronnie (Tiger Shroff).

Ronnie takes revenge from Raghav Shetty and gets back his love after a thrilling fight in the end. Movie also has many action scenes where Ronnie protects himself and  a small kid and Sia at times. 

Sia is a bold girl who loves rain and ultimately falls in love with Ronnie, and gets kidnapped by Raghav. 

The thing what leaves you in mystery is, Are the rain gods connected to the two of them? As whenever they meet, rain falls.
Also, when Ronnie goes to Bangkok to kill Raghav and bring back Sia and he enters his huge castle. None of the guards even fire a bullet at him, rather they come in turns to fight with him. Anyway, the songs are decent and sometimes you feel that they come one after another.

MY RATING : 3/5
 

 REVIEW:  THE JUNGLE BOOK 

Director: Jon Favreau

Voices by : Neel Sethi, Ben Kingsley, Bill Murray, Idris Elba, Lupita Nyong’O, Christopher Walken, Giancarlo Esposito, Scarlett Johansson

The Jungle Book is a movie remade in 2016 replenishing your love for the old Jungle Book and bringing your past back to the present. The movie is all about how Mowgli, a kid grows up in a wolf family and ultimately realizes that he should follow the ways of human race rather than the one of the wolves, just because he was not one of them!

My favourite character was Ballu, a bear who is always in a cool mood and has a very calm attitude towards things.

 All the animals in the jungle lived very peacefully and followed the rule of jungle everytime. During a drought in the jungle, Sher Khan the tiger asked the pack of wolves to hand over Mowgli to him so he could eat him up as he belonged to a human race. 

When Bagheera (Ben Kingsley), the one who bought Mowgli to the wolves is worried about Mowgli, he decides to take Mowgli to the village where humans lived. 

Mowgli faces many troubles before going to the village, when he finds Ballu who convinces Mowgli to work with him. Mowgli doesn't want to go to the village at all. 

There is also a short song in the movie was a long one in the earlier part. There was a elephant too but in this new edition, the elephants are shown as the original creators of the jungle and they should not be disturbed.

There are many funny scenes in the movie too, when Mowgli meets Ballu, when Mowgli loses to Wolves in every competition.

There are also characters like Louie (A giant monkey), Raksha (A wolf who believed to be the mother of Mowgli) that are the main characters.

This is a good watch movie that will bring back your childhood memories to the present and I am sure you will love it like I did.

My Rating : 4/5 stars.

Mafia's Crimonology : EPISODE 6!

.

EPISODE 6: The Deal! 

'I don't know this address, Sir. I am new here' Dawson replies.

'Not new for us, We saw you in our way 2 times. It may be a coincidence because we were travelling to the same place. Anyway, Thanks for your time. I hope we don't see you again.' the guy in black said as he returned back to his car.

Dawson went in thoughts for 5 minutes for what he should do now. He decided to go on the same address "72, Vilamir Residency, St. Petersburg."

He spotted the location on his map and turned on the ignition of his bike and managed to search any other route to the same place except the route on which the Mafia's were travelling. 

Dawson reached the location in about 25 minutes and he decided to wait a hundred steps away so he could see those cars coming. The cars arrived soon and there were 3 bigger Suitcases in the hands of the gang members. As they started moving inside the house a guy turned back but failed to notice Dawson.

As they moved inside, Dawson took some steps further and hid behind a car on the sideway so that he could manage a view from the Window but he couldn't see anything. As he moved a step closer- A bullet hit the car's window. Dawson without wasting any time, started running towards his motorbike. As he ran, Firing continued but the Bullets missed him everytime. He noticed that both the tyres of his bike were punctured. He had got his proof now and he decided to call the agency for backup related to cops. As he was dialing the number,
A short height but muscular man came and snatch his mobile phone. 
'You won't get it now. Trying to be clever eh? We asked you to stay out of our way. This is your choice now. For anything that happens to you now, You are responsible for it.' the guy said.

'I really was not going to....' As Dawson was speaking, he was hit by a metal rod from the behind which left him in unconsciousness for about 2 hours.

The next time he woke up, he was in a closed room with its walls having crack everywhere. It seemed a old and damaged place. Dawson was tied with a rope to a wooden chair. Dawson shouted 'Hey! Atleast talk to me now. I want to talk. 

He heard steady footsteps coming towards him. 2 guys entered the room, One of them was the same guy who asked the address to Dawson. 
 'Oh, this is the same guy. Man, after many warnings you are so foolish to follow us again. This will cost you now.' the two guys lifted the chair on which Dawson was sitting and carried it till the living room where 3 more people were sitting.

'Let's Introduce ourselves first to our dead or alive clever man. Jake , Michael , Gaston , Lily and Martha. We are the Cobra Universal Gang that consists of over 200 people all over the world doing business of over $3 million without getting caught even once. Drugs, Weapons , Steel- We are everywhere.' This is it. That's enough for you. Jake said.

They started discussing their deal with each other. 
'So what happened to the shipment coming from Vegas of a dozen rare edition ammo?' Martha asked.
'They are on their way, but we being here should complete the biggest ever deal of ours right now. The truck would be here anytime. We should get ready in about an hour. Michael Said.

Gaston signed Jake to get rid of  Dawson. Jake dragged Dawson in another room and  untied his feet first. Dawson hopped and held Jake's face in his legs. Dawson wasn't able to hold that position. He quickly grabbed the knife from Jake's hand and held it by his tied hand. He attempted to cut the rope and was able to do it. As Jake managed to free himself up, Dawson had his one hand open and he attacked Jake. When Jake tried to shout, Dawson was able to have a cut on his throat. As Jake fell in pain, Dawson got free and launched several punches on his face. Dawson collected everything Jake had in his pocket. Mobile Phone, Diary , Lists And a pen drive. Dawson took light footsteps and through the window of the kitchen, Ran away.

Mafia's Crimonology : EPISODE 5!

EPISODE 5: The First Face Off! 

The mechanic arrived 15 minutes after the call and took another 20 minutes which made Dawson lose his pace bad. As soon as the car was fixed, Dawson hurried his way along the highway- exceeding the speed limit. Dawson had noted the car's number plate already- The old investigating basics! He couldn't see them even after a hour of journey, he stops his car in the service lane and calls the Headquarters.

'Umm, do you guys have any more information about their location or the place where they are going?' Dawson feels embarrassed.
'How Stupid was that sir, anyways- they are travelling to St. Petersburg, about 3 hours journey from where you are. Now, go straight for another 100 miles and take the way to St. Petersburg, your co-ordinates will be sent to you through a text message. We count on you Dawson.' Mary said.

'Okay, I got it. Stay focused Dawson' Dawson speaks to himself as he sits back in the car again with the Radio on and a donut he just bought.
Dawson accelerates steadily enough keeping in mind the Speed limit this time because there could be security on the roads linking highways. Dawson received a message 10 minutes after he resumed his journey.

"Suspects spotted. They are about 20 minutes ahead of you,

Dawson-Don't mess up!. Address to be sent soon. Future Briefings- Find their location, Find the connections and get ready to bust the deal.."

This message pumped up Dawson as he had sure shot location of the suspects. In about an hour, he spotted the car at a local food court. He made sure the number plate matched. He decided to refill his car's tank until they got going. After few moments, he saw about 8 people coming out of the court and sitting in two cars which were identical. The cars started moving symmetrically. After another 100 miles, another car joined the two cars in their journey without any hault.

'Wait, three cars together- Okay I think it ain't safe to follow them with the same car of mine. I should probably follow them at a safe distance. This isn't going to be a good option but this is the last I have' Dawson speaks to himself.

At about 20 miles away from St. Peterburg, Dawson received a call from a unknown number-

"We hope you have forgotten us, And if you haven't, this is your final warning mister expert, we have seen many like you. Okay you want a challenge? The people are reaching Nevsky in St. Petersburg- Find them and we would then think you are something' The call ended.

'I have been challenged- I love them. Hardly their know i have been smarter.' 

Everyone reached St. Petersburg which made Dawson more active. The three cars stopped 2 miles away from Nevsky and everyone got down.

Dawson parked his car at a car parking and decided to rent a motorbike. Dawson observed everyone carefully.'One, two , three - he started counting.' They were 10 in total. It was a busy road so there could be no suspicion on those people. They talked for 2 minutes and then again sat back in the car. This time Dawson decided to get his motorbike near the cars as he got his helmet and guard on. They reached Nevsky and Dawson decreased his pace then.

He stopped at a Ammo shop-

'Here is my license, give me some 0.5 mm bullets along with a gun- The payment will be bought up through this card.'

'There you go sir, just make sure you don't go crazy with these crazy bullets else you would be having the police everywhere around you.' the guy replied.

The three cars stopped at a small house, Dawson noted the number

'72, Nevsky, St Petersburg'

'What's the matter with this number 72? I really need to find out if it is a part of the crime series.' Dawson thinks.

It was evening already as the people had moved to the house and Dawson took a hotel on rent in a nearby area and he updated his location to the Headquarters.

He received a message, 

"Nice Work Dawson, you will be arranged to the house no. 82 just in front of their house so you can have a watch on them. Move to the house tomorrow morning."

The next morning, Dawson moved to the house 82 which was fully furnished. Dawson without examining the beauty of the house took no time to observe the house carefully. At 11 am in the morning, everyone came out from the house. 3 ladies and 5 gents- The couple decided to stay back in the house.

Dawson took out his motorbike and started following the cars again. The cars that were moving at a steady pace suddenly slowed down. Dawson had to keep up his speed as he didn't want to get suspected.

Dawson merely overtook the cars as they again increased their speed and surrounded Dawson.

Dawson felt trouble around him, he increased his speed but the cars also increased the speed and at a point of time they overtook him again and stopped just in front of Dawson.

'Dawson, you are gone now- Foolish move of you.' Dawson regrets.

Two people come out of the car and ask Dawson

'Do you know this address?'

It read '72, Vilamir Residency St. Petersburg'.

Dawson was stunned to again notice the number 72.

Review : Fan (No Spoilers) #FdFs

The much awaited movie 'Fan' released today, with Shahrukh Khan playing the lead role and directed by Maneesh Sharma. Shah rukh gives everything in when it comes to acting. The Roles of Aryan Khanna and Gaurav Chandna have been played beautifully. The Story goes well in the start with steady pace and storyline.

The movie doesn't have any song so thankfully, we didn't have any thing to divert from the main storyline. Gaurav Chandna has been shown as a fan who would cross any boundaries to meet his hero of life. When he doesn't get any response he had expected, He turns harsh and starts messing up with the same hero's life.
The first half movie is all about how Gaurav's love for Aryan could been justified. Gaurav calls himself as junior Aryan Khanna due to a similar kind of face. 

The attempt of Gaurav to defame the star eventually ends in vain and he doesn't get anything rather than more disappointment. Aryan on the other side battles its out to save the reputation and ultimately chases Gaurav until the end.

People have different opinions about both the halves. Some liked the first Some liked the second. I liked the second half more just because the story got opened much more and the battle had started now. 

"SRK Creates a Character That Will Be Remembered For Years" - Karan Johar

I would give Fan 3.5*/5. This movie is for all the Srk fans and Non Srk Fans to Enjoy. This is what you should not do when you are a fan of somebody. Limits are not been to forgotten and you should love somebody until it harms them. You should succeed in your life and make people your fan. I loved this movie and will recommend it to everyone. Go enjoy it with your family and if you still don't like the movie-"Chodh yaar, Tu Nahi Samjhega!!"
